When the work was about to be completed, Su Hui asked Sun Qiang for help, and finally bought the meat, and invited everyone to have a big meal.

It can’t be that people’s houses have been built, and they haven’t had a meal yet. It’s a bit stingy to spread the word. Next time there are big things to ask for help, there may not be so many people who are willing.

The rice is cooked by her own brother and daughter-in-law, she has good cooking skills.

Braised pork with taro, stewed vegetables with minced meat, radish bone soup, dried tofu and bacon…

Before the food was served, the aroma had already spread out, which made people's hearts flutter.

As soon as the dishes came out, no one spoke, and all eyes were fixed on the dishes.

With a movement of chopsticks, everyone's hands are flying like flying. The Chinese New Year is not so rich!

There is no wine at home, and there is not enough food to eat. There is no surplus to make wine, so everyone drinks wild tea or chrysanthemum tea.

After they had almost eaten, Su Hui replaced the wine with tea, took Zhang Baoguo, and offered tea to them one by one according to Zhang Gen's suggestion.

Zhang Chengye and Sun Qiang were also there.

They have been a huge help.

Su Hui was delighted to drink this tea.

Everyone came to help, and each prepared a bowl to take home. Everyone was satisfied after eating this meal. In the end, everyone still had a bowl to take home to share with their families, which made them even more satisfied.

Although the relationship is close, but I haven’t seen meat during this period of time, and listened to the message of the large allowance, I always feel that they are a bit stingy. Now after listening to the explanation, I know that it’s not that I don’t want to buy meat, or that I can’t buy it. I ate another one today. With a round belly, that point of anger disappears invisibly.

The big guys dispersed, Su Qianming looked at the unenclosed fence and the empty pile of firewood beside him, he couldn't sit still: "I'll cut some bamboo for you to surround the yard some other day, you should also store some firewood at home .”

Zhang Gen listened and nodded: "That's right, let the child go to the mountain to hug some grass and come back."

The next day Su Qianming took Su Zhong to cut bamboo, planning to go up the mountain to dig some thorns and plant them around here when spring came, to form a natural barrier.

The in-laws were so diligent, and Zhang Gen was not far behind. He helped each other with their sons, and the four big men quickly finished the fence.

Seeing the successful completion of her daughter's house, Su Qianming was very satisfied, and her daughter and grandson became the family members of martyrs. If they want to build a house, the village will cooperate very well. If there is no wood, there will be wood. Basically, there will be some friendly sponsorship for everything that is lacking. Older children get more work points than their peers when they go to work.

After this period, with the special care from the village, the pressure is not so great. At least there are so many people to take care of and raise these children.

The house was built, the cemetery was selected, and a tomb was erected with the broken clothes left by Zhang Ping.

Su Hui put away all the military medals and the like, planning to give them to Zhang Baoguo and the others when he grows up.

The layout of this house is symmetrical. Entering the door is the living room, and then there are two rooms on the left and right sides. Behind the living room is the kitchen and bathroom. There is a small door in the kitchen, and the small door is separated by a distance. Toilets and firewood houses built with mud brick houses, next to the firewood houses are empty pigsty.

The firewood room, of course, is used to store firewood. The toilet is different from the current toilet. This toilet is just a small bucket, and you can buy a large tank on the ground, bury it in the ground, and then put two wooden boards on it for you to solve. Big and small, this condition is already good. For example, Zhang Gen and his side, there is no place for a large size. If you want to get it, you can only go to the public latrine. The smell is ecstasy.

These are all fertilizers, relying on these to count on more food, some people don't want to put the tuba there, so they will secretly find a place in their own home to store it to enrich their private land.

Some people go to other people's homes as guests and want to go to the toilet, but they have to hold back and go home because they don't want to cheapen other people's land.

Unless there is no other way to deal with it in the wild, if it doesn’t exist, how can we cheapen the weeds and flowers on the roadside

— It was Zhang Baoguo who said this, he said at school that he wanted to go home, and he gave the answer when Su Hui asked why.

Su Hui was really shocked by this answer.

After the house is built, the next step is to live in it. Although it is not allowed to count days, I still let people see the auspicious day before moving in.

On this day, they didn't set up any wine, but invited their parents-in-law, mother-in-law, second uncle, captain, and Sun Qiang, who contributed a lot in building the house, and two tables were full.

The food was well prepared, and Zhang Gen helped to buy the ingredients, including a pheasant that Zhang Quan caught on the mountain.

It doesn't pay attention to eight dishes and one soup, but in the big pot in the middle, the meat is at the top.

Zhang Gen used up all the meat tickets at home and owed some.

This is the last meal for the whole family, and from now on, there will be two families with the second child.

He received five hundred as a subsidy for the second child, and gave two hundred to build a house, and he still has a lot in hand, so it is no problem to buy these meats.

Although Li Manfen complained about it for a long time, Zhang Gen ignored it.

Su Qianming felt that her daughter's hands were too big. In fact, she didn't need to cook so richly. It was better to buy things. They brought all their things here, but there were still many things that were missing. They borrowed the table for eating.

Sun Qiang: "Sister-in-law, there is a recycling station in the town. I'll go there later and see if there are any old furniture that can be used."

I made a mistake. I didn’t think of making furniture before, but I thought about it later, and the furniture was not ready so quickly.

Su Hui thanked: "Thank you Qiangzi." Old furniture is fine, as long as it can be used.

The room is really empty now.

Although there was no wine, everyone who came to eat also prepared congratulatory gifts.

Su Qianming bought new bowls and chopsticks, as well as a hatchet, and packed another ten yuan.

The in-laws sent a quilt of new cotton. Although Li Manfen was very upset, it was something she had been saving for a long time to make a quilt for her younger son's wedding, but it was Zhang Gen's decision, and she couldn't help it.

Su Hui is very satisfied with the cotton. There are five people in her family, and there is only one quilt for the winter, so she really can't sleep well.

Zhang Chengye is the captain of the brigade, and he has made meritorious service. He has a monthly allowance and has ample money, so he sent a new iron pot.

Adding the repaired old iron pot from the branch, there are now two iron pots, exactly, one for cooking and the other for boiling water for bathing.

Sun Qiang also gave a gift, he gave a thermos pot, and secretly stuffed 300 yuan for Su Hui.

The 300 yuan is mixed, he said, 200 of which was collected by the leader, and the remaining 100 was collected by the comrades, and she was asked to put it away.

"Sister-in-law, it is everyone's wish that you collect the money well."

Su Hui was not hypocritical and accepted it, but asked him to write down who gave the money, otherwise she would not accept it.

In the future, I still have to return the favor.

"Thank you so much during this time. I've been busy. There's nothing at home now. My sister-in-law will prepare something for you some other day."

He shook his head, afraid that his sister-in-law would force things, so he hurried away, leaving a message from a distance: "Sister-in-law, no, you save it for the children, you know where I live in the town, if you need anything, just come to me. Don't be shy!"

Originally, Su Hui didn't have much money left in her hand, but now that she has this huge sum of money, her purse has bulged up again, but Su Hui doesn't plan to use it anymore, these are the life money of the child and their father, and they are reserved for His child uses it, but Su Hui is also full of confidence. She doesn't have any means of earning a living yet, but with her ability, she believes that she will soon have a clue.

In the afternoon of the next day, Sun Qiang borrowed a bullock cart and pulled a load of old furniture from the town. It belonged to the house that was raped. He asked the master to repair it briefly and sent it over.

Although the old furniture was said to be smashed, it can still be seen after being repaired, and the material is not bad, and he originally chose the one with a low degree of damage.

These are very useful. With these, the table and stools for eating, the bed, wardrobe, and short piles in the room are all complete.
